In the 21st century alone, the cost of a college education has more than doubled and is continuing to grow.

Students now pay an average of $9,377 for in-state tuition and $27,091 for out-of-state tuition. On top of high tuition costs, students also must pay for course fees, textbooks, school supplies, and living expenses. Altogether, these expenses total up to an average of $35,551 per year, making college out of reach for many students with limited resources.

Ms.Susy is a passionate college counselor, and from seeing what students go through with student debt, she has been using her social media platform to share helpful tips for students to avoid this. She is a huge Disney fanatic, and wants you to share your love for Disney as well.

Any student is eligible to apply for this scholarship opportunity.

To apply, just tell us what your favorite Disney character is or was as a child and why!

What's not to love about a pretty girl in a white dress and croissant-looking hairdo? Princess Leia of Disney’s Star Wars saga is a beautiful strategic woman with a fearless exposé. Now, I know what you’re thinking. Princess Leia isn’t an original Disney princess like Cinderella or Aurora, but Disney bought Star Wars from Lucasfilm in 2012. Since she still fits in the Disney umbrella, I chose her as my favorite Disney character. When I think of princesses, I imagine colorful gowns, a tiara, and a royal prince but instead, Princess Leia has a blaster with a smuggler lover named Han Solo. Besides having a complicated story surrounding her birth, Leia is nothing like the princesses you see on TV. She was adopted by Senator Bail Prestor Organa and Queen Breha Organa, making her the princess of the Alderaanian monarchy. Even with her royal title, she is not afraid to face the most dangerous and evil siths of the galaxy. Just a blaster in her hand and she can shoot any Storm Trooper coming her way and protect her home planet. I love Star Wars more as an adult than when I was a child. Growing up, I always admired beautiful women with kick-butt personalities like Leia. She inspired me to be a leader and stand up to myself while protecting those I love. Most princesses on television are protected by others but she protects herself and her loved ones. Living under a double identity as the heir apparent to a monarch and leader of the Rebel Alliance, Leia can do it all. Under her adoptive parents, she was taught many important values about democracy, justice, and the strength to fight against evil. She is beautiful, fearless, and exerts confidence wherever she goes. This is one trait that stands out over all the Disney princesses.
